Summary
At its July 21 meeting the Peru Board of Public Works approved claims totaling $946,418.47, payroll and benefit payments, awarded three demolition contracts, and approved relocating a truck-route sign away from Madison Avenue to Clay Street at residents' request.
The Peru Board of Public Works on July 21 approved routine financial items and several local contracts, and agreed to relocate a truck-route sign away from a residential stretch of Madison Avenue.
The board approved payment of claims dated July 21 in the amount of $946,418.47 and regular payroll dated July 10 totaling $274,878.41. A board member moved to approve each item and the motions were seconded; the chair called the votes and recorded them as all in favor.
The board also approved a semiannual clothing allowance of $33,916.66 and an HSA biannual contribution of $81,250 after motions and voice votes.
Under old business the board announced awards for three demolition contracts. Chair said the winning bids were: Baker Excavating for 60673 Woodburn Green Drive at $2,650, Baker Excavating for 721 Woodburn Green Drive at $2,750, and Blacks Lawn and Maintenance for 11 South Smith Street at $14,000. Chair stated the bids were received and reviewed at the prior meeting and these were the winning bids for the specified locations.
On a separate new-business item, residents represented by Tim Fisher asked the board to move a truck-route sign off Madison Avenue because trucks coming from the industrial park were using Madison and contributing to wear on the roadway. "I have been asked by Michael and Rhonda Selleck, who own two homes on Madison Avenue, to see about getting trucks from using...they come in from the industrial park," said Tim Fisher. Traffic Department staff (Todd) said removing the arrow and relocating the truck-route sign to Clay Street and updating GPS mapping would be possible. The board voted to approve directing trucks to use Clay Street off Washington and to relocate the city truck-route sign accordingly.
The chair moved the meeting into the next items of new business after those approvals and opened the meeting to comments.
Next steps: staff was instructed to notify contractors and to coordinate the signage change and GPS updates; specific dates for signage changes and contractor start dates were not specified in the meeting record.
